Dollar Heads Higher; Sterling Slips on GDP Release
The dollar has strengthened in early European trade Monday, with investors seeking out this safe haven after the Covid-19 outbreak forced the biggest reversal of U.S. economic reopening to date and the U.S. and China squared off over territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The number of Covid-19 cases globally has now passed the 13 million mark, according to Johns Hopkins University data, jumping by one million cases over the last five days. This has resulted in demand for the dollar as hopes of a quick economic recovery fall, with some countries, including the U.S., re-imposing lockdown measures to curb the spread of the virus.

Dollar Heads Lower Ahead of Jobless Data; Global Growth Eyed
Elsewhere, the USD/CNY pair slid 0.2% to 6.9878. The yuan was boosted by better-than expected inflation data for June, with producer prices falling 3% year-on-year. The drop in the PPI was smaller compared with the previous month’s drop of 3.7% and the 3.2% drop analysts had generally forecast. However, the pair is being supported most by the rally in Chinese stocks, which continued for an eighth straight day on Thursday.

Euro, Sterling Drift Ahead of ECB, BoE News
The dollar edged lower in early European trade Thursday, ahead of two major monetary developments in Europe. The European Central Bank will announce the results of its latest long-term lending operation, which is the first at which banks can borrow at the new lower limit of as low as 1%. Given the doubts over the effectiveness of negative interest rates, a high take-up would constitute a vote of confidence in the ability of the ECB to keep supporting the economy through monetary policy (and vice versa).
